Pleats are huge this Spring/Summer 2012. Pleated dresses and skirts epitomize a non-chalant  easy breezy ’70s vibe with a flirty, playful look. They’re super easy-to-wear and can be dressed up or down.

How to wear it

Pleated dresses need little styling as they instantly look stunning. So, we suggest pairing yours with a light cardigan or denim jacket and focusing on the accessories. A thin waisted belt in a neutral or contrasting shade is perfect for adding definition to your waist, then finish your look with a pair of chunky ’70s esque sandals and an oversized tote bag.

Pleated skirts look great teamed with slim fit knits or a classic t-shirt.
